Setting DOS environment variables

[Salad]

How can I set DOS environment variables upon logging into Windows or the
network. Currently the environment variables are being set in the
autoexec.nt batch file but they are global for all users...ex:

SET FULL_NAME=JOE BLOW
SET LOGIN_NAME=JOE

I would like to set the user's login name and full name and a couple of
other settings. I noticed that USERNAME is a setting when I enter SET
from the DOS command line.

Should I create a batch file in the autoexec that calls a batch file in
the user's profile directory based upon the USERNAME?

This was easy for me to do with Novell since there was a User login
script that was executed upon logging in. Is there something similar in
WinXP?
